A series doesn't start til someone loses at home. We're in the driver's seat NOW... but we need to take these two games at home to win the series.

IMO, Game 3 is more dire than Game 4. You need to win the first one. And the second, for that matter. You can't go back to Denver for Game 5 in an even series; this thing needs to go 3-1 before I declare us winners.

Let's see if Jackson sticks with the small ball lineup, or screws with Karl even further by going large. You definitely wanna run at home, so I'd be surprised if he altered the starters.

I'd like to see AB get some run in the 1st half to see if he does what he does best and crashes the boards a little. If he can give us some energy and rebounds, as well as fouling hard and proper when needed, he should get at least ten minutes. That would allow Ezeli to play alongside Bogut for some five minutes which could show how lethal defensively and rebounding those two can be in very small spurts. I think Denver's bigs are rather weak offensively and not great defensively either, so Bogut should not only score more, Ezeli should as well, off putbacks and dunks off passes close to the basket.

Going with the smaller lineup is the way to go, but if the shooting isn't that great, getting energisers like Landry and Ezeli in after some six minutes could be the way to go. The defense inside, not allowing putbacks by them, as well as deep penetration by their guards, is huge. Denver really is more transition and taking it to the basket than anything else. Defend them properly close to the basket and force them to shoot from the outside and you limit them alot.
